Lloyd George Government

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Prime Minister David Lloyd George, 1919

The Lloyd George government was a coalition government under Liberal Prime Minister David Lloyd George that ruled the United Kingdom from December 1916 to October 1922. It was created during the First World War after the resignation of the previous Prime Minister Herbert Henry Asquith on December 5, 1916, which was followed by part of the Liberal Party in the opposition .

The coalition continued after the end of the war, but the balance of power shifted significantly towards the conservatives after the general election of December 1918 . The government faced several problematic situations in the post-war period, including the peace treaties with the Central Powers being signed during their tenure and the Irish question being resolved with the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921. Lloyd George's personal commitment to the Greeks in the Greco-Turkish War was, among other things, undoing, which was demonstrated by the Chanak crisis of 1922. After several scandals in which the head of government was involved, and due to the increasing confidence of the Conservatives in being able to form a government alone, most recently at a backbencher meeting at the Carlton Club on October 19, 1922, Lloyd George stepped as Prime Minister and the Conservative party leader Austen Chamberlain , whereupon Andrew Bonar Law took over both posts.

Government formation

The previous government, Asquith's second government , in office since May 1915 , had suffered from several crises during 1916: on the one hand, the Irish question came back on the agenda with the Easter Rising of April 1916 in Dublin, and on the other hand, the British warfare suffered that year several setbacks - with the huge losses of the Battle of the Somme as the most obvious stumbling block. This battle and its assessment by the British public raised the question of how the war, if carried on according to previous methods, would be won. The opposition to Prime Minister Asquith within the government crystallized around the ambitious Secretary of War David Lloyd George, who seemed acceptable to the Conservatives as successor to Asquith, despite his earlier radical policies. Lloyd George and the conservative party leader Bonar Law met in early December 1916 to demand that the premier form a small, three-member committee for more effective warfare, chaired by Lloyd George and in which Asquith was not represented. Asquith reluctantly agreed, but withdrew it after two days, whereupon Lloyd George submitted his resignation. This resulted in the overthrow of the Asquith government. Asquith refused to serve under the Conservatives Bonar Law or Arthur Balfour in any government brought into play by the king as candidates for successor. As a result, Lloyd George was summoned to an audience on December 6th to receive the mandate to form a government.

The following liberal ministers, among others, were no longer represented in the new government:

Edward Stanley, 17th Earl of Derby, was the new Minister of War to succeed Lloyd George . Several new ministries were set up, including, for the first time, a Labor Ministry headed by a Labor politician.

War Cabinet

According to the proposals of Lloyd Georges and Bonar Laws, the actual leadership of the warfare was exercised by a committee that was known as the War Cabinet . In addition to Lloyd George, it included:

Changes during the existence of the War Cabinet (officially until October 31, 1919):

  • George Nicoll Barnes replaced Arthur Henderson in May 1917
  • Jan Christiaan Smuts became a Minister without Portfolio in the War Cabinet in June 1917
  • Sir Edward Carson joined the War Cabinet as Non-Portfolio Minister in July 1917 and resigned in January 1918
  • Austen Chamberlain replaced Lord Milner in April 1918 as Minister without Portfolio and member of the War Cabinet
  • Sir Eric Geddes replaced Jan Christiaan Smuts as Minister without Portfolio and member of the War Cabinet in January 1919
